About the role
Senior Commercial Counsel to partner with go-to-market teams, negotiate enterprise deals, advise on partnerships, and build playbooks and processes to accelerate commercial legal workflows.
Responsibilities
- Draft and negotiate customer agreements across the book: enterprise MSAs, order forms, API, serverless and renewals and expansions.
- Own the legal relationship with sales, account management and deal desk. Be the person they call first, and help them close.
- Negotiate AI-specific terms: IP and output ownership, data use and retention, model-provider flow-downs, acceptable use and content policies.
- Handle DPAs, security and privacy questions in customer deals, working closely with our privacy and security partners.
- Support model partner and marketplace terms as the catalog grows.
- Flex into infrastructure and vendor agreements alongside our AI Infrastructure counsel when the business needs it.
- Improve our templates, playbooks and approval matrix. Partner with Legal Ops on contract tooling and intake so standard deals get faster every quarter.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of commercial legal experience, including meaningful in-house time at a SaaS, cloud, API or AI company.
- A track record of negotiating high volumes of enterprise customer contracts, from standard paper to complex strategic deals.
- Working knowledge of usage-based and consumption pricing models, SLAs, and data protection (GDPR, CCPA, DPAs).
- A business-partner mindset. You're comfortable owning decisions, not just listing options, and you communicate in plain language.
- You keep your balance in a fast, lightly structured environment where priorities shift weekly.
- Active bar membership in good standing (California preferred or able to register as in-house counsel).
